Chapter 82 Secretly Seeing the Prince Xu Zhen Shoot
Xu Zhen got the news of Jinyang, hurriedly went out from the military office, and saw a familiar disguised female official, so he secretly traveled with him to the Shuyi Palace, without saying anything all the way, and when he arrived at the inner hall reading room, he saw Li Mingda go out to greet him, but Li Chengqian had not yet arrived.
Li Mingda knew that his brother was in an unstable mood, and he was afraid that Xu Zhen would go against Li Chengqian's will and cause some unhappy breakups, so he talked about Li Chengqian's temperament again.
Xu Zhen was willing to listen, after all, if he couldn't be dissuaded this time, if he couldn't do anything wrong with Li You, the king of Qi, Li Chengqian would force the palace in advance, if this was the case, I was afraid that it would be a turmoil in history.
In fact, Xu Zhenzhi's worries are not unreasonable, although Li Chengqian was frequently reprimanded by the teacher, but the sage still has a lot of love for him, and he urgently hopes that many famous ministers will guide him with his heart, and he has also comforted him, but since Li Mingda's return, the sage seems to be making up for the separation of this year, and has poured all the love of his children into Li Mingda's body, and has few greetings to Li Chengqian.
In this way, Li Chengqian felt that the adults had abandoned him, and in addition, the current Situ Changsun Wuji had a lot of complaints, hinting several times that the sage had been abolished and newly established, which made Li Chengqian rebellious.
In the final analysis, if there was no Xu Zhen, Li Mingda would not have been able to return to Chang'an, and Li Chengqian would not need to rebel in advance to force the palace, figuring out this joint, Xu Zhen felt more and more that this matter fell on him, and he thought about words in his heart, Li Mingda was exquisite and ingenious, and he knew how to please that brother, and he knew everything.
The two were talking, but the female official outside the palace informed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, and Xu Zhen hurriedly followed Li Mingda and went out to greet him.
I saw that the prince of the Tang Dynasty was long and broad-shouldered, his cheeks were thin, his description was not neat, and he did not wear a crown, but he just tied his long hair indiscriminately, his movements were slow, and he seemed to be lame, but he was not very clear.
When Xu Zhen saw that the two of them finished saluting, he was about to salute Li Chengqian, but the latter came over first and helped Xu Zhen, holding hands and thanking him, grateful to Xu Zhen for his kindness to Li Mingda.
"Brother Xian has to be polite, if you don't guard all the way, how can my son come back in peace, my brother and sister are affectionate, Brother Xian is the person I am close to, my brother should have come to the house to visit, because of the entanglement of official business, failed to make the trip, there are many regrets, meet today, and talk freely!"
Hearing that Li Chengqian is commensurate with each other, Xu Zhen panicked and excused himself, not pretending to be a gesture, in fact, this Li Chengqian will soon have an incident in the East Palace, and everyone who is involved in the deceased is not affected, although Xu Zhen has no bad feelings towards Li Chengqian, but he does not dare to cling to this friendship.
The three of them entered the study, but instead of drinking, they drank tea.
Tea drinking in the Tang Dynasty is not the same as today, Lu Yu was born a hundred years away, and he has not written the tea scripture, so he is not very particular about drinking tea, and the Tang people have a heavy taste, and they pour all the messy condiments into the tea, and they are willing to eat it, but Xu Zhen and other people from other worlds are not used to drinking.
Because he wanted to talk about a private matter, he had driven out the personal female officials and palace maids, although Jin Yang was young, he was a landlord, and he should be in charge of making tea.
I saw that she cleaned her hands, and Xu Zhen and Li Chengqian sat down as guests, because she knew that her brother was suffering from foot disease, and took a "few of them", brother and sister were familiar with each other, Li Chengqian's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he did not talk about blunt etiquette, so he sat on the couch, leaned on a few sides, and talked about the Tuyuhun war with Xu Zhen, while waiting for the sister to make tea.
Xu Zhen didn't dare to make a mistake, and sat down on his knees seriously, but he was attracted by Jinyang, who was making tea.
This Nizi has received court education since she was a child, with good demeanor and demeanor, and followed the sage to learn calligraphy, edifying an elegant and noble atmosphere like a quiet orchid.
I saw that she skillfully broke the tea cake, gently and gently took the gilded moire silver tea mill and grinding shaft, crushed the tea pieces into crumbs, picked them up and mashed them, put them into the gilded immortal flying pattern silver tea Luo to sift out the tea powder, and put it in the turtle-shaped gilt silver tea box for later use.
At that time, the mountain spring water in the small furnace will not be rolled, so the green onion, ginger, Su Gui, crisp cheese, jujube and other condiments are added to it, boiled for a while, the water boils, then add the tea powder, boil into "porridge", divide three cups out, according to the number of gifts and offer to the elder brother and Xu Zhen, this is the end of the whole process of making tea.
Xu Zhen saw that this girl seemed to be a few years old when she made tea, she was serious and calm, and she was quite a beautiful girl, and she couldn't help but look at this girl differently, but Li Chengqian hadn't seen his sister for a long time, drinking the tea made by his sister's own hands, recalling the time when they were playing together when they were young, and couldn't help but wet their eyes.
Seeing that his brother was moved by family affection, Li Mingda was also in a hurry, so he made a naughty appearance, and said with a smile with Li Chengqian: "Today's gathering, why is it so dull, the elder brother of the Xu family is an elder of the Zoroastrian sect, and he knows a lot of abilities, why don't you show some means and let my eldest brother see what about it?" ”
Although it was a pre-negotiated scene, Li Mingda smiled skillfully and realistically, Xu Zhen and other great magicians, how could her acting skills weaken her, and she immediately waved her hand and thanked her, only saying that this sacred skill is dignified and fulfilled, and it is inconvenient to make it fun.
Li Chengqian had heard that Xu Zhen was the divine master of Hu Tianjiao, and there were many legends in the army that there were miracles, the so-called seeing is real and hearing is false, he has never seen it with his own eyes, and he has not believed it.
He glanced at the study, and there was nothing to drive, but fortunately, with the precedent of Zhang Liang's design, he now carries a few important illusion dao weapons with him when he goes out, and after a moment of silence, he opened his voice.
"A certain practice of Zoroastrian secret scriptures, more divination, today's gathering, it is better to use this as a play, His Highness can hide his personal things, and a certain person will try to shoot over, I don't know what His Highness wants?"
Li Chengqian, who knows that this shooting is not a secret technique, and heard that the Han Fang Shi Dongfang Shuo is the best at it, immediately stroked his palm and praised the good, thought about it, and said to Xu Zhen: "The virtuous brother has this secret technique, and the foolish brother should be eye-opening, but it is a shooting, when there is a right or wrong, the brother went out in a hurry, and he did not prepare a treasure, this ring has the right to be a color head!" ”
After speaking, Li Chengqian untied the gold ring between his left fingers, and the ring looked like a Pixiu or a unicorn and couldn't see it very clearly, only to see a square gem shining, which was obviously a priceless treasure!
Xu really wanted to resign, but Li Mingda snatched the words away, laughed and teased: "Brother Xu, don't shirk, you will be the prophet who has tried and tested, and in the end you guessed wrong, my eldest brother didn't laugh, but I laughed at my sister!" ”
Xu Zhen's face was suddenly embarrassed, and he glared at Li Mingda without distinction of humility, but the latter spat out his tongue at her, making Li Chengqian laugh with all his girlish posture.
Li Chengqian was afraid that Xu Zhen would be well-read and memorized, and he would not dare to take out the obvious accessories he carried, and after thinking about it, there was still a finely carved wolf tooth in the bag, which was a token given by the Turks, so he put the wolf tooth in the turtle-shaped gilt tea box, which led Xu Zhen in.
After taking his seat, Xu Zhen did not pinch his fingers and calculate, but untied his head, scattered his hair, took a bowl of clean water, wiped his fingers, dripped blood into the water, and used the blood to draw strange runes, and circled the gilded tea box.
Such a strange and mysterious ritual not only shocked Li Chengqian, but even Li Mingda, who had calculated in advance, was shocked, only to feel that the study had become extremely cold, as if there was a light breeze coming in and out, and the flames of the small tea stove were jumping up uneasily!
The atmosphere here was instantly controlled by Xu Zhen, and Li Chengqian didn't dare to underestimate it anymore, and leaned back subconsciously, as if he didn't want to get close to the tea box, for fear of blocking the gods who were watching for Xu Zhen's divination!
In ancient times, people were superstitious about ghosts and gods, Xu Zhen also relied on his outstanding acting skills, and he pretended to be a ghost, and saw that Li Chengqian had entered the middle of the world, and his heart was secretly happy, and he suddenly opened his eyes, and there were words in his mouth, like a madness, the more he read the incantation, the more anxious he became, and finally pressed his hand lightly on the tea box, but he suddenly screamed, and fell on the couch in dizziness, and his body was still twitching and trembling!
Li Mingda came over to help, and called out with concern: "Brother Xu! Brother Xu! But he complained angrily in his heart: "This damned big liar is so realistic in his play, and I don't know that the slave family is really concerned!" ”
At this time, Xu Zhen also regretted it tightly, in order to be realistic, he used the enhancement of the I Ching to wash the marrow and take a breath, but it was perverse, his face was blood-red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was really weird!
Li Chengqian's heart was shocked, thinking that this Xu Zhen really has a three-point ability? Hurriedly got up and came over to support Xu Zhen, and was about to greet him, but Xu Zhen just raised his head, saw Li Chengqian, and retreated to Li Mingda's compartment in panic, but he didn't want to contaminate Li Chengqian!
Seeing Xu Zhen so frightened, Li Chengqian was also suspicious in his heart, and he didn't want to blame Xu Zhen for being rude, but Xu Zhen got up and hurriedly saluted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't blame, a certain ghost has lost his mind, and it is really not suitable to perform strange arts today, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince and Princess will forgive their sins, and retire first!" ”
At this point, Xu Zhen was about to withdraw with a frightened face, but Li Chengqian's heart was full of fog, where was he willing to let go, grabbed Xu Zhen's wrist, and stopped him: "Why is Brother Xu Zhenxian so unsophisticated, what do you want to say about this prince?" ”
Xu Zhen muttered in his mouth, as if he was in a trance, but he waved his hand again and again, the straight path of heaven cannot be revealed, and he has to leave again, then Li Chengqian is also a straightforward and honest character, seeing Xu Zhen so secretive, he was not very angry in his heart, and suddenly put on a straight face, and said angrily: "Brother Xian must have foreseen something shocking, why can't he say it, is it possible to trap your brother in a disadvantage?!" ”
Li Mingda saw that Li Chengqian was already convinced, and cried on the side to help persuade him, begging Xu Zhen for guidance, if it was really harmful to his brother, even if he lost his life, this heavenly opportunity would be leaked.
Xu Zhen felt that the timing was almost right, so he sighed, made a helpless gesture, and said to the prince seriously.
"It's not a secret, this thing is a great thing in the north, if this heavenly opportunity leaks out, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm, the court will shake, dare to call the sun and the moon to change the sky!"
Li Chengqian's heart tightened, but he didn't expect that the scene of shooting and overturning actually allowed Xu Zhen to peek into his conspiracy with the Turks to force the palace, and he was immediately stopped by Xu Zhen's words!
Xu Zhen knew what Li Chengqian was thinking, and immediately exclaimed: "Your Highness really has this intention!" ”
Hearing Xu Zhen's words, Li Chengqian suddenly raised his head, and there was a fierce light between his eyes, and the murderous intent was dispersed!
(Note: Shooting, shooting is the meaning of guessing, covering the meaning of covering, covering the person with a bowl, box, hand towel fan and other utensils to cover a certain object, the shooter through the way of divination, guessing what is inside, in ancient times used to practice the ability to occupy.) )
